Relational Mentorship in Higher Education - A Coaching Guide for Student and Faculty Success

Sylvanus N. Wosu Ph.D.

Sinopsis

Relational Mentorship in Higher Education: A Mentoring Coaching Guide for Student and Faculty Success, explores various models for mentorship as developed for undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty. By framing mentorship as personal service, followership, and leadership processes integrated by mutual trust and relational connection, this book presents a unique perceptive of a mentoring process that puts emphasis on goal-oriented relationships and mutual trust that help both mentor and mentee. Mentorship and menteeship strategies for all parties involved—faculty mentors, student mentees, and universities—in a manner that not only gives guidance to everyone involved are discussed with a view into the mind of the other parties. Relational Mentorship in Higher Education is a must-resource book to learn how to develop and be engaged in a personal growth plan, develop more mentorship and menteeship skills,  and for professional career growth, especially in cross-gender and -racial settings.
 
In this second edition, and in response to the several disruptions experienced in higher education in recent times, including the impact of Covid-19 pandemic, national racial climate, weather disruption, changes in traditional teaching and learning, strategies of dealing with changes and disruptions outside students’ control in what has been described the "new normal " is discussed in addition to how faculty or leaders empower students to success under those situations. Strategies for dealing with mentees’ perceived failures and mental health during a disruption are also addressed.  Flexibility and adoption strategies in disruptions, dealing with negative social climate, and habits for decisive actions on a purpose for success are covered.  This edition also includes discussions on important strategies such as students can learn and bounce back from mistakes or perceived failures, understanding the 3WH Model: What, Why, Where, and How in mistakes, and understanding how to measure progress in academic goals

The Gaboye of Somaliland - The...

Elia Vitturini

The book explores the history of a minority group, the Gaboye, in Somaliland, and, using a historical ethnographic approach, addresses two main issues. First, the analysis addresses the transformation and reproduction of the social boundary which separates an ascribed status-based minority group within the society: what symbolic, political, economic and social apparatuses have articulated the boundary and the belonging to this minority group? How have these apparatuses changed? Second, the analysis adopts the trajectory of the minority members in the town of Hargeysa as a perspective on the history of north-western Somali society: from the point of view of an ascribed status-based minority group, what can we see of the social, economic and political changes which occurred during the decades of slow colonial penetration into the area, of urban expansion, of postcolonial state consolidation and collapse, civil war, mass displacement, peace building, and the contemporary waves of diasporisation of this society?

Thinking Life Through

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

In the face of a world crisis, which is manifestly deeper than one can imagine, many are inclined to ask: “Has Christianity failed?” Fulton Sheen’s Thinking Life Through seeks to answer this critical question. The conclusions the author proposes are far-reaching and touch upon subjects as diverse as the truth and meaning of human sexuality, the purpose of life, discordant marriages, angels, alcoholism, the vocation of the soldier, materialism, parenting, and even the question of spanking children.  
On the critical subject of freedom, Sheen writes, “The true definition of freedom is the right to do whatever one ought, and oughtness implies law, goals, purposes, and perfection. Freedom is a moral power and not a physical one. It revolves around what man is rather than what man does. We are more free within the law than outside of it.” 
Thinking Life Through also addresses the world’s political climate, something that in many ways mirrors the present political discourse. Focusing on the tragic decline of post-Christian society, Sheen gives special attention to both the threat of communism and the dangers of socialism. Sheen also gives clarity to the role of the individual and the family while living in a time of moral and political uncertainty. Finally, Sheen addresses good manners and politeness as he states in his quintessential style, “Another effect of materialism is to be seen in the decline of courtesy. There is politeness and decorum and a desire to please others when it is generally recognized that every person bears within himself an image of the Divine.” For anyone seeking to grow in wisdom, Thinking Life Through will be your guide.
